It says Kitson was at the Ricoh and also that Haskell was sent off. Shows what a quality journalist (sic) he is. And going by that I hope every single Wasps player will be whiter than white for the rest of Dai Young's Wasps tenure or it will be very hypocritical.

Well if that's the case, all the things Joe has done are other people's fault for goading him. Young can't complain that he got nothing from the ref, they got away with plenty and at one point the penalty count was 9-4 in their favour. I don't know the final figure. Also could easily have been a penalty try for the Cipriani knock on and Launch should have had a yellow for killing the ball on Cliffs break.

I've said it before and I'll say it again IMHO Kitson just doesn't like us. I don't know what his beef is, but he's managed to make some fairly reserved comments by Livefast there sound like Marler drove a truck into a bus queue of pensioners.

“We’ve all seen Hask over the years … you don’t see him react to much. You could see he was pretty annoyed. He didn’t throw a punch, he just grabbed the guy. He’s going to react isn’t he? He’s probably got more restraint than I would have had.”

Well, he grabbed him, then shoved an elbow in his face, then later was so upset by a few drops of water that he tried to throttle him. I think you might be blind, Dai.

Quote:

Quins’ director of rugby, John Kingston, insisted he had not seen the incident but Young felt his team were harshly treated overall by the referee, Andrew Jackson: “What you want from referees is consistency. I’ve got to be honest I thought he was consistent … he gave us nothing all game. There was a lot going on out there. There was also lots of yap which I don’t think helps the game. I don’t like that sort of thing.”

There was a lot of yap - amazing amounts of backchat from Haskell, Launchbury, Daly, and others. Of course, we were the only side actually penalised for it when Ward chirped up...

As for gave Wasps nothing, he penalised Quins 12-7 compared to Wasps!

Frankly, the Marler thing was absolutely hilarious. Imagine being dumb enough to get wound up by that!

Oh! I missed that. I only saw Ward getting us marched back. Fair enough then. I watched it with a friend and early on said the ref was already losing control. Better second half from him but there were much stronger characters than him out on the pitch and I was thrilled by our attitude.

Not sure if that's the case but if so it would be strange as he used to live in Richmond, and may still live in the area for all I know.

tigerburnieIf that naughty boy squirts water at our players on the weekend I'm sure they'll sqeeem and squeem and squeem(Hasks must be very embarrassed watching that back lol).

From a Wasps supporter I agree in the cold light of day it does seem funny (albeit a bit out of context) but for me Haskell should simply know better then rise to it especially as he knows Marler well ! Although as much as we may trivialise a water squirt, I think many players would react to that when fired up in the middle of a game.
